Does anyone know of any tutorials on painting the Death Korps of Krieg? I am looking for colors used and a straight up tutorial. Thank you for your help.

What colours do you want to use?

This.


We really can't help you if we don't know how you want to paint them.

Dark greys and blacks seem to work best.

Black and Greys are great then mud as well but they will come out very Grim dark which is fine because Kreig are morbid and it is the grim dark future. Mine are very dark, so dark they look bad in pictures but up close you see the detail and work put into them.

There's a tutorial on the IA:Masterclass book about how FW painted their own Kriegsmen that are shown on the website and on their display days.

Otherwise, any colour is good. You may not believe me, but I've seen good things from anything from deep reds (a-la Coldstream Guards) to light blues inspired from french WW1 forces. Standard grey is of course, a no brainer.

Something to make your Kriegsmen stand out a bit more is to paint the greatcoats a different colour from the fatigues, but have the leg wrappings match the gas masks/gloves for a more uniform feel.

ALSO! BIG TIP! The Cadian transfers fit the Krieg shoulderpads well if you trim them slightly, unless if you want the minefield markings, you can save cash by simply using any Cadian transfers you have around, as they are very similiar in design and style (the krieg transfers are slightly smaller, and have a XXXrd/XXXth)

I just paint the coat Charadon Granite and highlight it with Khemri Brown. Then I use Blood Red as a shock colour.
